The Different Types of Trees

Trees come in different shapes and sizes. There are several types of trees or tree species in the world that make part of our ecosystem that acts as a habitat for over 140,000 animal species and other micro-organisms. Scientifically trees are very important to both humans and the environment. Therefore it is very important to conserve and plant more tree species to maintain their number and preserve the environment and the ecosystem. Trees are divided into two categories namely deciduous and coniferous trees as can be seen in the following discussion.

Types of Deciduous Trees

These trees are sometimes referred to as broadleaf trees because of their leaves. They have larger and wider leaves as compared to those of coniferous trees. They spread out as they grow and they have rounded shapes as compared to conifers. Deciduous trees tend to drop their leaves during autumn. This is because the larger the size of the leaf the greater the surface area for photosynthesis and as such the leaf can not certain weather conditions. Most of these trees are hardwood trees. These trees are predominantly grown for their highly valued timber. The following is a list of deciduous trees

Types of Coniferous Trees

These trees are also known as evergreen trees. This is because the leaves of these trees remain green throughout the year and they only drop the old leaves. On top of that these trees grow upwards and have a triangular shape.

These trees have long pointed needle like and flat scaled leaves. Coniferous trees do not lose their leaves annually and they are evergreen. These trees are strong and resistant to different climatic conditions. Most of these types of trees are softwood trees. The types of Christmas trees actually all belong in the coniferous family.

Unlike the deciduous trees, conifers are not in very high demand but that does not mean that they are useful for their timber. The following is a list of this type of trees

Every one is passionate at least about one thing. On my side am passionate about different spices of trees. Trees have been there since time in memorial but with time they are declining reason being many people do not know the importance of conserving them, forgetting the generation that will come. It’s quite clear that population is increasing with high late, meaning that the trees will be cut down for people to settle beating the logic. Join me as we look for a solution to solve the mess.
